"Iâm infuriated!"
Emperor Bao Feng was furious.
The Divine Blood Stone that was almost in his grasp had been snatched away by Chen Yu.
And the power displayed by the opposing party was extraordinary; they had been deceived earlier.
Upon reflection, when Chen Yu said he would keep the Divine Blood Stone safe, he was serious, not joking.
Now, Chen Yu had taken the Divine Blood Stone.
"You bastard, once I recover to my peak, I will tear you to pieces."
Emperor Bao Feng cursed continuously.
"That kid must be your accomplice."
The Mutant Giant Scale Shark glared at Emperor Bao Feng angrily; to it, it was the angriest of all.
The Divine Blood Stone was its treasure initially.
Emperor Bao Feng, gasping in anger, couldnât believe the Giant Scale Shark thought he was in cahoots with Chen Yu.
"Idiot, if you hadnât been relentlessly chasing me, that kid wouldnât have taken the Divine Blood Stone."
Emperor Bao Feng, with his hot temper, harbored deep resentment against the Giant Scale Shark.
The holy power within the Giant Scale Shark surged, illuminating the heavens and earth. An endless Blood Sea emerged around, gradually converging toward the center, forming a massive blood-flowing sphere, pressing down.
Emperor Bao Feng, still enraged, joined forces with the White-clothed Demon Clan to launch a counterattack.
However, in terms of manpower, the subordinates of the Giant Scale Shark outnumbered theirs.
During the recent hunt, both Emperor Bao Feng and the White-clothed Demon Clan were injured, especially Emperor Bao Feng, whose previous injuries were exacerbated by the joint attack from Chen Yu and the Giant Scale Shark, resulting in a severe wound.
Bang! Boom!
Exchanges of fierce blows filled the sky with explosive sounds.
"Retreat."
Emperor Bao Feng, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, withdrew from the battle.
The White-clothed Demon Clan also hastily retreated, having lost both legs, leaving only a torso floating in mid-air.
"Kill them all."
The Mutant Giant Scale Shark commanded angrily, intent on exterminating these enemies to quell its rage.
"Damn it, Iâve been severely injured; Iâm no match for this monster now."
Emperor Bao Feng gritted his teeth in extreme hatred and anger.
The Mutant Giant Scale Shark relentlessly pursued them, continuous attacks raining down from behind, placing Emperor Bao Feng and the White-clothed Demon Clan in a crisis.
"Lord Bao Feng, save me..."
The White-clothed Demon Clan was enveloped by the Mutant Giant Scale Sharkâs attacks, unable to escape in its current state.
Glancing over, Emperor Bao Feng knew rescuing the White-clothed Demon Clan would plunge him into greater peril.
He clenched his teeth and decided to seize the opportunity to retreat.
At that moment.
A cold and arrogant voice descended: "Emperor Bao Feng, youâve disappointed me greatly."
Emperor Bao Feng shivered, looking into the distance, only to see a majestic figure standing proud in the void.
In the blink of an eye, that figure was right before him, so fast that he couldnât react.
The opponent was adorned in vibrant feathers, standing tall and strong, with a pair of dark purple eyes seemingly piercing through the soul.
"Evil Sparrow Lord, I..."
Emperor Bao Feng began to explain.
His four-person team was now down to two, the White-clothed Demon Clan barely escaping the jaws of the Giant Scale Shark.
Such a miserable outcome left him feeling ashamed.
Before he could finish, the Demigod Evil Sparrow unleashed incomparable terrifying might, sweeping across the heavens, freezing everything, leaving the void in utter silence.
"This aura..."
The Mutant Giant Scale Shark froze in mid-air, its minions turning into statues, rendered immobile.
All living things around submitted to the Demigod Evil Sparrow.
The Demigod Evil Sparrowâs gaze fell upon the Mutant Giant Scale Shark, and suddenly two dark purple rays shot out, wielding terrifying divine might, destabilizing the surrounding world.
All material in those two dark purple beams vanished completely.
The Mutant Giant Scale Shark, sensing the threat of death, struggled desperately, holy power bursting forth, blood light surging, its momentum climbing continuously.
Puff, puff!
The two dark purple beams instantly struck the Giant Scale Shark, piercing through its body, leaving two massive holes.
Immediately following, the blood-red gigantic body of the Mutant Giant Scale Shark developed countless fractures, its blood and flesh scattering everywhere.
Some of the minions beside the Giant Scale Shark, though untouched by the Demigod Evil Sparrowâs attack, also blew apart simultaneously.
A mere glance, and the Mutant Giant Scale Shark was overwhelmed.
Itâs crucial to note that if the Mutant Giant Scale Shark was in the blood lake, its power would have neared the peak of Late Xuanming stage.
The renowned Emperor Bao Feng of the Demon Race was nearly killed by the Mutant Giant Scale Shark.
Yet against a Demigod, it perished instantly.
Thus, the White-clothed Demon Clan was also saved; his face was paper-white, having just experienced a near-death feeling beside the Mutant Giant Scale Shark.
"Hmm? Thereâs a faint divine power within this Giant Scale Shark..."
After slaying the Giant Scale Shark, the Demigod Evil Sparrow noticed something peculiar from its fragmented corpse.
"Evil Sparrow Lord, allow me to recount the events in detail."
Emperor Bao Feng bowed, bending low.
He then recounted in detail the encounters of his team.
"Our plight is all due to that wretched human!"
Emperor Bao Feng ground his teeth in bitterness, still unaware of Chen Yuâs name.
"Divine Blood Stone!"
The Demigod Evil Sparrowâs eyes sparkled with intrigue.
The Mutant Giant Scale Shark was of no use to him.
However, the Divine Blood Stone was different; it held a certain potential to enhance his cultivation.
"Take me to the blood lake you mentioned."
The Demigod Evil Sparrow ordered.
"Yes, perhaps that human boy is still near the blood lake."
Emperor Bao Feng immediately replied, feeling a surge of anticipation within.
Chen Yu had just left not long ago, so he might still be at the blood lake. Once the Demigod Evil Sparrow sets out, how could Chen Yu possibly survive!
The Demigod Evil Sparrowâs group originally consisted of three members. Now, with the inclusion of Emperor Bao Feng and the white-clothed Demon Clan, there were five people in total.
Soon after.
The Demigod Evil Sparrowâs group arrived at the blood lake.
"Where is the lake, Emperor Bao Feng?"
A leader within the Demigod Evil Sparrowâs group asked with a smile.
"This..."
Emperor Bao Feng and the white-clothed Demon Clan stood there, stunned.
The massive blood lake, stretching for tens of thousands of feet, had vanished without a trace. In its place remained only a giant pit, containing some low-grade treasures equivalent to about the Early-stage Star Condensation level.
For the Emperors of the Xuanming Realm and Demigods, these were mere trash.
"The lake has disappeared!"
Emperor Bao Feng took a deep breath, finding it unbelievable.
"Emperor Bao Feng, are you joking with us?"
The leader who spoke earlier continued with a laugh.
According to Emperor Bao Feng, the blood lake wasnât just ordinary blood; it could block the five senses and Spiritual Sense, and its deadly poison could kill even those in the Xuanming Realm.
Such a large pit, containing special blood water, must have held an astonishing amount, impossible to fit into ordinary storage spaces.
Even if it could be contained, one wouldnât go to such lengths to fill an entire storage space with water.
"The Divine Blood Stone cannot be placed into ordinary storage space, yet I canât sense any divine power aura."
"This suggests that the human has a special method to suppress the divine power aura on the Divine Blood Stone, or he possesses a very advanced storage space."
The Demigod Evil Sparrow spoke, and the other members of the Demon Race immediately fell silent to listen.
Considering the disappearance of the entire blood lake, the Demigod Evil Sparrow speculated that Chen Yu likely possessed a highly advanced storage space.
"Send word to other members of the Demon Race, to keep an eye on this person. If he doesnât join the Demon Race, capture him directly."
The Demigod Evil Sparrow ordered.
...
Chen Yu obtained the Divine Blood Stone and left immediately.
Having scoured the benefits of the blood lake clean, there was no reason for him to linger.
The Cloud Dragon Clan woman, Golden Stone King, and Senior Xu gathered the treasures Chen Yu deemed unworthy from the blood lake, gaining considerable rewards.
Having done nothing and still reaping benefits, they were more than willing to cling to Chen Yuâs coattails.
"He left so quickly, with such a straight route. Could it be that he has a new target?"
The Cloud Dragon Clan woman observed Chen Yu, making mental guesses.
If she had acquired the Divine Blood Stone, she would surely find a place to quietly seclude herself, just to preserve the Blood God Stone.
But Chen Yu moved swiftly, not stopping to organize his gains.
"Thatâs right. Chen Yu entered this place by mistake before the four major clans. He might know secrets we donât."
The Cloud Dragon Clan woman realized.
At that blood lake, she witnessed Chen Yu gaining immense benefits, but had no clue where he intended to go next.
Chen Yu remembered several locations that could potentially harbor treasures.
Now, with the involvement of the four major clans, he had to seize the time and even abandon some places to maximize his gains.
Long before, Chen Yu had already decided on his next target.
"I just hope that place hasnât been entirely scavenged by the four major clans."
Chen Yu thought to himself.
At this moment, the voice of the Bloodline Ancestor rang out: "Boy, the entire blood lakeâs blood is enough for you. The Divine Blood Stone wonât be useful to you in the short term, but I do have a secret technique that can maximize its use..."
It was rare for the Bloodline Ancestor to offer a suggestion proactively.
Chen Yu pondered briefly.
The blood from the entire lake contained immense energy. With the ability of the Ancestor Bloodline, if fully absorbed, his cultivation would significantly improve.
But having just broken through to the Peak of Mid Xuanming, he shouldnât rapidly increase his cultivation.
Even the blood stored within the Ancestor Bloodline wouldnât be consumed in the short term.
As for the Divine Blood Stone, for Chen Yu, it only served to enhance his cultivation and physical enhancements.
As the Bloodline Ancestor said, Chen Yu might not need the Divine Blood Stone in the short term, making it a waste indeed.
"What secret technique?"
Chen Yu became intrigued by the secret technique mentioned by the Bloodline Ancestor.
The Divine Blood Stone was valuable; if its value could be fully realized in the short term, he would certainly give it a try.
"Blood God Avatar!"
Replied the Bloodline Ancestor.
"Blood God... Avatar?"
Chen Yu was startled by the Bloodline Ancestorâs words.
What kind of secret technique was it to be associated with "God"!
"The Blood God Avatar is a top-tier secret technique within my memory, and I was the only one in the entire Blood Race to have used it back in the day,"
The Bloodline Ancestor continued.
This demonstrated that the secret technique was not something an ordinary person could master.
The Bloodline Ancestor was a god that once shook the main world.
"Simply put, you can use the Divine Blood Stone as the core to cultivate a unique avatar."
"Once the âBlood God Avatarâ is successfully created, its potential will far surpass that of the Blood-sucking Clan. Furthermore, by integrating divine power aura and the strength of divine blood into the materials used for creating the avatar, it will possess boundless potential!"
An avatar with potential far exceeding the Blood-sucking Clan intrigued Chen Yu.
"However, if I create an avatar now, wouldnât it be of little help in the short term?"
Chen Yu questioned.
"Hehe, thatâs underestimating the Blood God Avatar,"
"The Blood God Avatar is a special energy form with no fatal weaknesses, veritably an immortal body. And due to the divine blood, the avatar can even comprehend divine abilities..."
